SUMMARY:Objects Up Close Virtual Series
DESCRIPTION:Adornment and Allegiance: Tortoiseshell and the Formation of American Identity \nThe eagle has long been a symbol of American pride\, but a tortoiseshell comb in the Albany Room invites us to consider the role of another animal. Hawksbill turtles\, from which tortoiseshells are painfully taken\, swam oceans away from the emerging nation. This distance did not make the valued material un-American\, but rather\, a powerful symbol of how the former colonies were becoming a colonizing force themselves. In its current location\, Henry Francis du Pont’s placement of the comb in a room packed with imagery of eagles and agrarian bliss also offers the opportunity to consider his vision of early Americana. This virtual lecture is presented by Estrella Salgado\, Fellow\, Winterthur Program in American Material Culture. Registration required. Free. \nRegister now. \nJoin us for additional programs on April 7 and May 5.

SUMMARY:Research at Winterthur Speaker Series
DESCRIPTION:Genealogy in Early America \nIn 18th-century America\, genealogy was more than a simple record of family ties–it was a powerful force that shaped society. Karin Wulf’s book\, Lineage: Genealogy and the Power of Connection in Early America. delves into an era where individuals\, families\, and institutions meticulously documented their connections. It reveals the profound importance of genealogy that was chronicled by court documents\, family records\, and cultural artifacts\, like many objects in Winterthur’s collections. These materials\, created by both enslaved individuals seeking freedom and founding fathers seeking status\, demonstrate the culturally and historically specific nature of genealogical interest. Even as the American Revolution transformed society\, the significance of genealogy endured. The legacy of lineage from the colonial period continued to shape the early United States\, underscoring the enduring importance of family connections. Lineage offers a deep understanding of genealogy as a foundational element of American history\, illuminating its vital role from the colonial era through the birth of the nation. Karin Wulf is director and librarian\, The John Carter Brown Library\, and professor of history\, Brown University. \nThe Research at Winterthur series\, presented by the Winterthur Library and the Research Fellowship Program\, showcases new projects and publications that tap into our rich collections and resources\, unveiling innovative perspectives for exploring the fascinating stories that objects can tell about people and our shared past. Registration required. Included with admission. Members free. \nRegister now. \nJoin us for additional talks in the series on April 16\, April 19\, May 1\, and May 8.
